Chapter 37: The Last Supper

"Thank you for joining us today......"

When everyone was seated, Angelo stood up and began to address the crowd, and Karil sat to Angelo's right, and when he heard the first sentence, he left it behind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This hall reminded Carlil of the first time she saw Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in the hall of their house, but unfortunately there was no sky on the ceiling, and there were no candles that seemed to float in the air.

Although the exquisite candelabra ceiling is not worse than it, but it looks very magical over there, and it is just religious here.

There are three long square tables in the hall, Angelo and Caril, Qingci, and Honglian sit at the middle end, the current pope sits at the opposite end of the distant Angelo, and the other positions are full of all kinds of bishops and the like, the system of the Holy See is so complicated that it hurts, and Carlil can't recognize it all after being here for several days, although it doesn't matter.

Angelo's opening words are not long, and it is only about a dozen sentences, originally Carlil was accustomed to listening to a long prelude, but I didn't expect him to finish it at once, think about it, Angelo's current identity as a bastard doesn't need to be too polite with a group of people. Of course, the main thing is to start eating early.

Then there was a round of applause in the hall, and everyone began to bustle and began to pick up knives and forks to start with the dishes on the table.

"What did you just say?"

Because of the applause at the end, Karil suddenly became a little curious, cut a large piece of roast meat and put it on her plate, and asked casually.

"Some nonsense"

Angelo also replied casually, he has always maintained a papal smile when he is outside, and he looks very professional at a glance, but there is no ambiguity at all when he grabs food, which makes Carlil feel that it is a habit that a group of people have developed in the workshop before.

"Okay, I said" Kahlil forked some other meat and vegetables over, and piled the plate in front of her full, in fact, it was very advantageous here, if it was someone else's way to do it, it would be more tasteless, but if it was a cute girl doing this, everyone suddenly felt that it was acceptable again......

"What?" Angelo smiled and ate all the way, finally squeezing a sentence out of his stuffed mouth.

"What is the attitude of the Holy See, I mean, in the future."

"Oh? I can't believe you care so much."

Angelo was a little surprised, and he had the impression that although Carlil cared about his relatives and friends, he was indifferent to people who were irrelevant, and he didn't seem to care about the Holy See.

"Nonsense, if you can use it, it's a big help"

Kahlil squinted happily as she cut off a small piece of the roast and put it in her mouth.

"It seems to make sense" Angelo stopped and looked at Karil's expression before he said: "I have also paid a little attention to it in the past few days, the current Pope has done a good job, and now at least the top level of the Holy See can still be trusted." ”

Not to mention the chaos of the Holy See from the previous dark period, Angelo swept away the corruption of the Holy See after taking office, and the work of restoring the purity of the Holy See was indeed very successful, although he had not been to the grassroots level, at least a group of archbishops and the like had firm beliefs and integrity, and the Pope was also very cohesive, which made Angelo quite satisfied.

"And what about the attitude towards the war" Kaliel asked as she ate, this is not better than eating casually in private, there is so much time here, and when the time comes, the group will disperse, a little unhappy.

When she turned to look at the red lotus, she found that she ate much more fiercely than herself, and she could still eat it while maintaining a not too bad appearance, without affecting her image.

While Kahlil felt a little embarrassed, she suddenly felt a little inexplicably relieved.

"Attitude? War is nothing more than a question of who is powerful, and what position the Holy See wants to stand on, of course, is also based on what position is strong against the Holy See, at least, in name. ”

Angelo smiled and whispered to Karil, it's not a good thing, it's better to whisper.

It seems to make some sense.

"What about the armed forces," Carlil asked in a low voice.

The Holy See has its own combat power, at least in this way can it seek a place for itself in a divided world, in order to make itself stand tall in the world with a neutral attitude, without this neutrality, whether it is the development of the Holy See organization or the promotion of beliefs, it will be much more disadvantageous, and the high-level is very clear about this, so the armed force has always been an important part of the development of the Holy See.

In fact, after Angelo's previous governance, the Holy See now protects itself with its own armed forces that cannot be underestimated, although there is a little threat to other countries, but it happens that other countries cannot make it impossible to provoke believers all over the world to fight with the Holy See's armed forces for this threat, and once one side fights with the Holy See, it is inevitable that other countries will jump out and take advantage of the fire to rob in the name of helping the Holy See. So although the Papal Armed Forces have been developing, they have been in a delicate mutual constraint, at least for the time being, there is no problem, and everything is going well.

"Armed forces? It's definitely not bad, I can guarantee the ability to train soldiers" Angelo proudly pulled his sparse beard: "This is a training system that has been handed down back then, and the combat effectiveness can definitely fight"

"Not bad......"

This is really a bit tempting, and Kahlil thinks how good it would be if she could borrow it and use it, so as not to lose her name, and borrow a knife to kill people.

"As for the attitude of the Holy See in a possible future war, I have discussed this issue with the current Pope for a long time," Angelo raised his glass and gestured to the current Pope from a distance.

The incumbent pope over there also picked up his glass from a distance, smiled and raised his glass to Angelo, and then the two drank their wine together.

"Whew...... Actually, the results are still inconclusive," Angelo said, putting down his glass and continuing.

This was somewhat unexpected, and Kahlil stuck her fork in the flesh with one hand and asked in surprise, "Still inconclusive?" ”

"No way, the Pope has the position of the Pope, maybe everyone has no hesitation in the fight, but the Pope still has to consider the development of the entire Holy See, if Sunderland's army is too strong, the Holy See is not good to take our believers to fight hard, right, after all, the Pope has some scruples, and the believers are willing to go, and the Holy See can't move casually" Angelo explained slowly.

"Well, although understandable"

"But on the bright side, if it is a war launched by Sunderland, when external forces unite and can fight with it, it is also possible to want the Holy See to take the lead in making a clear position to participate in the war, believers are all over the world, and they can be regarded as capable people in large numbers, and they can be regarded as giving Sunderland an evil name, as long as it can win the hearts of the people, it is very logical for the Holy See to participate in the war with a big banner......"

Angelo said and laughed, he didn't really want the Holy See to join the war, he finally kept the Holy See neutral in the world, but he didn't want to let the Holy See change its position at once, although for selfish reasons, it was his character to take the Holy See into a big battle.

"Sounds good, at least there's some hope," Karil held a piece of meat in front of her eyes, not eating it for a long time, thinking about something in her heart.

"If you can build momentum at that time, then the Holy See can become your help, I can only say this" Angelo was in his heart, and he said a big word, although he has no real power now, but his influence is definitely comparable to the current pope, not to mention that the current pope originally held a similar opinion as him, and it was normal for the two of them to make any major decisions in private in the future.

"And I also helped the Holy See, and within three months, the armed forces of the Holy See can still rise?" Angelo smirked and bragged to Karil.

"What did you do?" It's a pity that Kaliel's mind is not completely on this side, just hearing Angelo's words, he didn't pay attention to Angelo's boasting, which made him feel a bit of a waste of feelings.

"Remember when someone started the League of Assassins and what she left behind?"

"I know, the blueprints, but most of them are too advanced to be made...... Well? Kalil suddenly thought of something, and looked at him in surprise.

"That's right!" Angelo was very satisfied with Carlil's reaction, and was embarrassed to be too loud in public, so he had to snicker proudly: "My old man is not a bastard in the tower, how can he stay for sixty years without something to do, although I admit that these machines are not played by that bastard, but after sixty years, I am not a fool, I can always do something"

"Can you build it now?" Carlil asked, somewhat delighted.

"That's right, although there is only a part of it, I have improved it for a long time, at least now the process of the Holy See industry can be made, if it goes well, it will only take two months, and the first batch of war machines can sneak into the internal testing link of the Holy See." Angelo smiled mysteriously, and secretly talked about topics that only the two of them would understand.

"In the third month, it will be officially equipped on the Holy See armament?"

"Of course! It's not very skillful to use, but those things ...... It's really amazing, I have to admit that the bastard's level was really high back then, tsk"

"Well done......" Carlil wanted to jump up and cheer, but the occasion was not quite right.

"Alright, let's do it for now, eat well, and we'll go tomorrow," Angelo said, raising his glass to Karil.

I don't know if it's the habit of the Holy See, anyway, there is only a small amount of wine poured every time, and the two touched it lightly, raised their glasses and drank it all.

"Tomorrow, we will leave the Holy See, and you can do whatever you want after that, but well, I want to go to a place first."

"Where?" Kaliel put down her glass.

"Calradia, I want to go back to my old home and see ......"

Angelo smiled and placed his knife and fork on his plate.
